The Rebirth of an Ill-Fated Consort

Chapter 161 Queen Mother (1)

Looking back at Jiang Ruan, the court lady couldn't help but a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. There are many daughters of rich families who obey the rules, and there are many people with excellent etiquette, but there are only a few people who can do so well. Look at her walking posture, her eyes are not squinted, her lotus steps are graceful, her chin is slightly raised when she walks, her expression is both humble but not humble, noble but not arrogant. Very well done. She walked very steadily, and she didn't even have the fear and curiosity of others entering the palace for the first time in her eyes. All emotions are hidden in those beautiful winking eyes, making it hard for people to see clearly.

Her rules are not like that of an official lady, but like a beauty who has lived in this deep palace for several years, and her every move is familiar and well-mannered, and every step is done properly.

Naturally, the court lady didn't know that Jiang Ruan was in the palace in her previous life, and when Fang entered the palace, she was pushed out by other beauties because of her too good looks, so she used the rules of the palace to trip her up every now and then. Either offended the rules here or violated the taboos there. For the sake of the Jiang family not wanting to offend those people, she copied down thousands of almost harsh rules in the palace and read them every day. not bad. Even those who tried to use her as a raft could not find the slightest mistake.

The helpless move at that time, I didn't expect that it would be used in this place in this life. She sneered slightly in her heart.

Along the way, some wives have seen some tricks. Not to mention the ladies of the Jiang family, the two concubines, Miss Jiang and Miss Jiang have their own merits, but when it comes to manners, the eldest lady is more important. It was better, although the second young lady didn't make any mistakes, but she seemed blunt and immature, not as natural and appropriate as Jiang Ruan.

After a few people turned around the palace wall, there was also a lady in front of the palace lady, and before she could see who it was, she heard a clear voice warmly saying: "Sister Ruan!"

Jiang Ruan looked up and saw that it was Dong Ying'er who called her, and she was dressed very carefully today, which perfectly brought out her generous and lively temperament. After saluting with Xia Yan, she spoke to Mrs. Jing Zhaoyin again, then took Jiang Ruan's arm and walked aside, whispering while walking.

Seeing Jiang Ruan's attire, Dong Ying'er said: "I know you are beautiful on weekdays, but I don't know that today's attire is also interesting."

Jiang Ruan smiled: "Sister Dong is the most beautiful."

They were all young girls. When someone praised her appearance, Dong Yinger's face was flushed with blush. Suddenly remembered something, and mysteriously approached Jiang Ruan's ear, said in a low voice: "Do you know that Chen Guifei is going to pick a fiancée for His Highness the Eighth Prince today."

Jiang Ruan was slightly taken aback. In her last life, this had never happened before. Her expression froze, and she suddenly broke into a smile: "What does this mean? How could His Highness the Eighth Highness suddenly choose his fiancée?"

"I heard it was Chen Guifei's meaning." Dong Ying'er lowered her voice, "Think about it, His Highness the Eighth Prince has reached the age to marry a wife, but there is not even a housemate around him." Her face was a little red, Still continued: "Concubine Chen is anxious. There are many ladies at the palace banquet tonight. Concubine Chen said that she would personally choose a marriage for His Highness the Eighth Highness. Your Majesty has already given her permission."

Jiang Ruan looked at her and said, "How does Sister Dong know?"

"There is a servant girl's sister in our house who works in the palace. She told her about it when she went home to visit relatives yesterday. This is no longer a secret, and everyone in the Simeng Palace knows about it." Dong Yinger stomped her feet. : "My mother insisted that I dress up like this today, and said that it would be fine if I entered the palace and became the Eighth Prince's Concubine. But I don't want to marry His Highness the Eighth Prince at all. I just want to find someone I really love and live my life." Dong Ying'er thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "However, there are so many female relatives in the palace tonight, and His Highness the Eighth Highness will not take a fancy to me. Sister Ruan, you are always smart, but think about who will be favored by Concubine Chen tonight and become a The eighth concubine?"

Seeing that Jiang Ruan didn't move, she pushed Jiang Ruan's arm, Jiang Ruan turned her head, and Dong Yinger couldn't help being surprised by the deep meaning in her eyes. Jiang Ruan's beautiful eyes were full of black ink, which seemed to be a whirlpool that could draw people into obsession. The ink color was dense, but large swaths of indifference came from the sky, and it made people feel chills when looking at it.

She called out, "Sister Ruan?"

Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "I don't know either." The haze just now was swept away, as if it was just Dong Yinger's hallucination. Her fingers gathered in the sleeves slowly pinched into the palm of her hand.

It turned out that they had this idea, and it turned out that Ye Li had this idea.

There was a cruel smile on her lips, but tonight, whether it was the right time or place, the harmony of people or her own thoughts, the thoughts of Concubine Chen Gui and Ye Li were probably going to be lost. In her previous life, she mistakenly regarded wolves as relatives, and treated them wholeheartedly, but in the end she ended up in such a miserable end, and even hurt the people around her, how sad?

In this life, will she repeat the mistakes of the previous life and marry Ye Li? Even if she married a cat or dog outside, she would not bother to be tied up with that man again.

The Yuping Hall has long been filled with ladies and wives, almost all of whom are relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles who have orders, and there are many nobles in the palace to take care of them. At this moment, they are all whispering greetings, neither appearing too restrained nor too restrained. presumptuous.

The empress on the high seat was in the middle, and the four concubines sat down one by one with a smile on their faces. At this moment, he is also looking at the lady below with a smile, occasionally exchanging a few words of greeting, and looking at it is also very kind.

The little eunuch who was waiting for the order sang loudly: "Mrs. Shang Shufu has arrived—"

Everyone looked at the door in unison.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Jiang Quan, has been in the limelight in Beijing recently, not because of anything else, but because Young Master Jiang who returned to Beijing is the fastest promoted and youngest lieutenant general in the Jin Dynasty. What's more, as soon as he returned to Beijing, he made many meritorious deeds, and I heard people said that he was quite favored by His Majesty. I think that in the future, he should have a smooth official career and a bright future among the dragons and phoenixes. All the ladies here will listen to a few words from their masters more or less on weekdays, and there are many young ladies present who have reached the age of marriage. Now that someone said that Jiang Shangshu's family members had arrived, they naturally turned their attention to him.

Xia Yan and the others really thought that the wives were looking at her, so they couldn't help straightening their backs, the smiles on their faces were both gentle and dignified, and they walked extremely steadily all the way.

Everyone watched silently, Xia Yan and Jiang Susu looked gentle and beautiful, Jiang Li was in high spirits but a little frivolous, Jiang Dan was coquettish and cowardly, and she couldn't make a big scene, but Jiang Ruan, who was walking behind Xia Yan, walked leisurely, There was a smile on his lips, the smile was bright and delicate, and his every move revealed the calmness and indifference that only a palace man could have.

Looking at it this way, everyone remembered again that Xia Yan is not Jiang Xinzhi's biological mother after all, but Jiang Ruan and Jiang Xinzhi are real brothers and sisters. If Jiang Xinzhi gets promoted and gets rich in the future, Jiang Ruan will also rise with the tide. He advances and retreats well, even in big scenes like entering and leaving the palace banquet, he doesn't feel nervous at all, he doesn't look like a character raised on a mountain village. Some wives also had other thoughts in their minds, just wanting to send the young lady of the Jiang family back to their homes early.
